WATCH: Is French race walker Yohann Diniz in for a lifetime of Gary Lineker-style abuse?

Shat on Olympic glory

Darragh Murphy

Poor Yohann Diniz.

The 50km race walk world record holder is, at the time of writing, leading the group in Rio but fans couldn’t help but notice a curious colour running down the hamstrings of the Frenchman at the 10km mark of the race.

It appears as though the 38-year-old had something of an accident while setting an incredible pace at the front. Either that or he’s a big fan of using fake tan on his arse and it just started streaking.

We’re sure Gary Lineker can sympathise as the Leicester legend’s Twitter mentions have turned into a litany of ‘shat on’ replies due to his bowel-evacuation on the pitch against Ireland in the 1990 World Cup.

This is what we go to journalism school for.
